Throughout documentation and source code, the Thread.interrupted flag is referred to as either "interrupted status" or "interrupt status". It might be good to be consistent.

Historically, it seems to have initially been "interrupted status". This is how the flag is called in java.lang.Thread and the "Java Concurrency in Practice" book. ("The Java Programming Language" calls it "interrupted state".) However, over the years "interrupt status" appeared in documentation and source code through networking and NIO classes.
